I think you're pretty typical of the average Republican supporter. You don't have to be all the way crazy to support many views that have put this country in the wrong direction. Democrats would not be smart just to abandon their policies and ideals, and support yours instead. We already have a Party (one too many such Parties in my opinion) which represents your views.

I reconsider myself to be an average American of today. I don't consider socialism, social justice and the racial favoritism promoted by big government to be the right direction for most of America. I'd prefer to wrap it up and dump it into the shit can of the 60's where it belongs.

Like I say, typical Republican supporter. And only typical of that group, not of "Americans."

Quote: But, I understand that it's too valuable to you and liberal politicians like the Clintons to give it up. So, we will continue down the path we are on. I'm not concerned about myself. I'm a pretty tough individual who is confident in his ability to adapt, to provide and survive a rough patch in our history. I'm not concerned about you, you have the belief in big government to fall back on and save you.

Not only "belief," but I even get a little social security now

The path we are on leads to destruction indeed, but that path is the Republican path that you support.

But it's easy to see how the country can be divided on whom to vote for for congress almost down the middle, but on the question of whether the country is on the right or wrong track, large majorities say the latter; as you would, and as I would too. And on the question of confidence in that Congress whom the people support by not voting out the Republicans, the people are virtually unanimous in their disapproval.

As a majority, I believe the country is pretty much on the right track. I'm on the same track as my parents and their parents. I'm on the American track like most Americans. A track that is considered scary for some, granted by others and acceptable to most who identify themselves as being Americans. However, there are some who believe that our track isn't for them/wasn't created for people like them. I'd place you in that group of people as a spokesman/wannabe leader of those people. An alternate path may be required for those who are unable to advance themselves naturally. An alternate that they can choose to take and create for themselves and hope it's able to last as long as our path. For an American, you sure don't know squat about the American spirit. You know, the good old "can do" spirit that so many Americans have that you and so many blue patrons appear to lack. You know, the good old "fighting" spirit that so many Americans still have that you and so many of your blue patrons appear to lack. America wasn't created to be given away to whoever or whatever group has an issue with it today. It's funny, the Democrats created the system that you have issues with today and all you can do is blame Republicans. YOU ARE CRAZY.
